RE: Skyfonts

[Andrew Bernard]

Hi Knut,

 

Thank you, but no way. I am fussy about the ethics of using fonts and this is not a viable solution, although perhaps technically possible. I’d say that is illegal in _any_ country, at least according to the Monotype licensing, and fair enough I say.

 

In any case I want to test out dozens or many many fonts for a client, and this is not a fluent solution.

 

So the question as asked still stands.

 

Andrew

You should be able to produce a pdf containing either a subset or a full copy of the font you want to use in lilypond.
A great number of tools allows to extract font objects from pdfs (ghostscript, mutool, fontforge, ...). Lilypond should
be able to use the extracted fonts. Be aware of the fact that all this might be illegal in your country .
